Vista - Navigation Application in Window

I have an app that could benefit from WPF's Navigation Application.
Unfortunately, whenever I create a "XAML Broswer Application" the
resulting application runs in IE. I would like it to run in a regular
winodw. How do I go after doing that? Should I use "Windows
Application"? If so then how do I get the navigations?

Thanks

Navigation is meant for IE. If you are looking to create wizard style
functionality, look at Microsoft's User Interface Process (UIP)
Application Block.

Yes, you have to use Windows Application (WPF) project. And then just create
a NavigationWindow for container and add Pages. You can use the Navigate
method, Hyperlinks, or the journal to implement navigation.

Here is an example (I posted this some time ago to reply to another
problem). Very basic, just create a Windows Application (WPF) project and
create the files as listed below:

// file: App.xaml
// Main application.

<Application x:Class="NavigationTest.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="Container.xaml"
>
<Application.Resources>

</Application.Resources>
</Application>

// file: Container.xaml
// This is the NavigationWindow that will host your pages.

<NavigationWindow x:Class="NavigationTest.Container"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="NavigationTest" Height="300" Width="300"
Source="Main.xaml"
>
</NavigationWindow>

// file: Main.xaml
// This is the main/default page.

<Page x:Class="NavigationTest.Main"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Main"
>
<Grid>
<Button Click ="Next_Click" Content="Next" />
</Grid>
</Page>

// file: Main.xaml.cs
// Code to handle the button click which will navigate to next page.

namespace NavigationTest
{
public partial class Main : System.Windows.Controls.Page {
public Main() {
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Next_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
// This is where you create an instance of the next page and
navigate to it.
NextPage next = new NextPage();
this.NavigationService.Navigate(next);
}
}
}

// file: NextPage.xaml
// This is the next page that you will navigate to.

<Page x:Class="NavigationTest.NextPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="NextPage"
>
<Grid>
<TextBlock>This is the next page.</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Page>

Hi,

That's incorrect. You can have a NavigationWindow running as standalone
application, and use the navigation service to load new pages. Instead
of running the Page, simply place the Page in a NavigationWindow.

Doh! Sorry. I did not know what I was thinking.
